IPA Polka Hall of Fame/Music Awards Update

COMMITTEE EVOLVES

In the fall of 2014, the IPA established the Polka Music Hall of Fame and Awards Committee to oversee and enhance the various processes necessary to properly recognize deserving polka professionals. The most recent threemember committee comprised IPA 2nd Vice President Fred Kendzierski and IPA Director Brad Turk and was chaired by Polka Hall of Famer Fred Bulinski. During its tenure, this committee incorporated a number of improvements that helped to better represent all polka genres. Special thanks go out to Fred Bulinski who personally managed an extreme workload for over six years for the good of the greater polka industry. Congratulations for a job well done, gentlemen!

In keeping with the IPA’s objective for more inclusion and diverse participation, the Executive Board recently approved the expansion of the committee to a five-member team. The new committee now leverages the talents of Polka Hall of Famers Jackie Libera, Jimmy Weber, Fred Ziwich, Gary Brueggen, and Mike Matousek. Welcome aboard, mates!
